Tokusa-Ō (德佐王, ? – ?) known in Korea as Buyeo Deokjwa (扶餘德佐) was a member of the royal family of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the third son of the founder and first king, Onjo of Baekje.[1]

He only appears in the Japanese records of Shinsen Shōjiroku and Shoku Nihongi.

According to the Shinsen Shōjiroku he is one of the earliest people of Baekje to settle in Japan and is the grandson of Dongmyeongseong of Goguryeo.[2] The Shoku Nihongi records that the ancestor of the royal family of Baekje is daughter of the river deity Habaek (하백, 河伯) which is similar to the Korean Jumong tales.[3] Nothing else is known of his life or activities besides that he was ancestor of several clans in Japan.
